3 The Erasmus Mundus Programme and the IMPAKT Project A cooperation and mobility programme in the area of Higher Education of the European Union, the Erasmus Mundus Programme aims to promote European higher education, to help improve and enhance the career prospects of students and to promote intercultural understanding through cooperation with third countries. Action 2 of this program, to which the IMPAKT project is included, has specific objectives for contributing to the mutual enrichment of societies; to promote mobility for students, researchers as well as universities outside the EU, to contribute to the development of human resources and the international cooperation capacity of higher education institutions. IMPAKT stands for International Mobility Programme for Academic and Knowledge Transfer. The University of Rouen coordinates a consortium of 20 institutions of higher education in Asia and Europe, spread throughout the seventeen countries involved in this project, having the National Economics University (Vietnam) as joint-coordinator of the project. The European countries are: Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal and Spain and the Third countries in Asia are: China, Indonesia, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Mongolia, Myanmar, Vietnam. The programme will enable the exchange of 215 individuals, students and staff, between the two regions. IMPAKT will mainly focus in the fields of Economics, Education, Environmental Sciences, Law, Management and Planning. IMPAKT consolidates existing cooperation ties between the universities of the consortium and will reinforce recently acquired links. It will contribute to building the management capacity of Higher Education Institutions in Third Countries and, most importantly, the improvement of their learning and teaching capacities. Through the mobility of staff and students, IMPAKT is promoting mutual enrichment of societies.
